Darkness

As A child I was afraid Of the dark

Because it symbolized the unknown

Not knowing what was there lurking

Now I know what's lurking in the dark

But the dark is inside of my head

Your told monsters live in the world You're not told they're in your head

They don't live under your bed

They make a home out of your head

Filling you with sadness and misery

Making you question your life

Telling you to jump off that bridge

Telling you to slice your wrist

Telling you there's no point in living

The darkness is only a metaphor

A metaphor for what truly haunts us

Our own minds, thoughts and feelings

Ps. This is my first time writing anything like this. Enjoy!
